A few weeks ago Lookbook Store sent me a package filled with pieces that I've now been wearing quite regularly so today I wanted to share them all with you here on the blog. I also wanted to let you know that I'm on the free 21 Buttons app so if you see outfits you'd like to shop you can check out my profile here.

How cute is this black denim skirt? I love the frayed hem detail it definitely makes the skirt more fun and interesting. The material of the denim is also very stretchy and comfortable which I'm a huge fan of because this girl loves her stretchy bottoms, anyone else? Another bonus is the length, it's long enough to cover the booty but not too long to where it makes my legs appear shorter. I'm wearing the skirt in a size Small.

I believe that every woman needs a classic white blouse in their closet. This one is on the sheer side and loose fitting which I love because it allows me to wear it as-is in the summer and layered in the fall/winter. Because it's a neutral color and timeless you can pair it with numerous pieces in your closet. I chose to style this top more casually with a pair of shorts and sandals for summer. I'm wearing a size Small in this top.

These denim overalls were my wild card pick and I say that because I wouldn't normally pick something like this for myself but I was feeling brave so I went for it! Funny enough the moment my sister saw these she immediately wanted to borrow them. Like the denim skirt, the denim on these overalls are very stretchy and comfortable which I love. The rolled hem is a nice touch and the length of the shorts are perfect, not too long and not too short. I'm wearing a size Small.

The final item I picked from Lookbook Store is this ultra cozy fleece cardigan. I wish there were a way for you to feel how soft it is. Since it's currently 100 degrees in Houston I haven't had the chance to wear this cardigan out, however I've been wearing it non-stop around the house. In fact, I'm wearing it right now as I'm writing this blog post! It has 2 large pockets, a hoodie, it has an oversized fit and its length is about mid-thigh. I'm wearing it in a size Medium for that comfy and oversized fit.

That pretty much wraps up this blog post. Let me know which item was your favorite. Thank you for reading my post I really appreciate it and thank you to Lookbook Store for sending me all the beautiful pieces featured in todays post. Until next time friends, take care!

For my fellow lovers of all things home + decor, I have brand new video just for you! This week I'm sharing the updates we've made to our living room, the upcoming projects we have planned, our soon-to-be layout for this space and why it's all happening.

Happy Friday, friends! There's a brand new SHEIN try-on haul video up on my channel. I've listed the links to everything seen in this video down below and in the videos description box, so be sure to check that out if you see pieces you like!

When I first started to look for inspo to decorate my house, I came across this image on Pinterest and absolutely loved the minimal aesthetic. Instantly I searched the web for similar pieces and I came across this round brass mirror on the Target website and knew I had to have it.

I made the wise decision to not buy it out of impulse, instead I browsed the internet for weeks to find cheaper options. I slowly started to realized that this mirror was actually the most affordable for its size, compared to similar styles online.

After months of serious contemplation and eyeing the mirror both online and in-stores, I finally caved and bought it on my recent shopping trip to Target when I saw it was on sale for $44.99!! The minute I arrived home I took it out of the packaging and decided to take mirror selfies, which then lead to the thought: "Do I want to hang this on the wall or keep it around as a free-floating selfie mirror?"

As much as I'd love to have it free-floating for picture taking I decided the best and safest thing to do was to hang it on the entryway wall.

In addition to a round mirror, I also needed an entryway table. I found this console table on Amazon,
for under $45 which fit perfectly in this small space. I also really like the wood and metal combo! 😍

Once I had my mirror and table in place I took a trip to my local TJ Maxx to find the finishing touches for my new setup. Browsing through their candles I fell in love with the scent of this santal musk candle, it smells masculine with subtle notes of sweetness.

Afterwards I went to a plant nursery near my house and bought two new houseplants [seen below]. On the left is a Petra Croton and on the right is a Golden Pothos. Aren't they beautiful?

I asked you all on my Instagram what I should name them and one of you suggested I name one Petra and the other Pothos. I'm sticking with those names!

Later that day I hung my baby Pothos plant by the window and moved baby Petra next to my ZZ plant named Steve. Full disclosure: I'm proudly admit to being a crazy plant lady that names her plants, haha!

That concludes my most recent home buys, let me know, which was your favorite?

"Dear Ocean, thank you for making us feel tiny, humble, inspired and salty all at once."

Where is your favorite place to vacation? My favorite travel destination is somewhere near the ocean. Better yet, on the beach. I personally find that being on the beach really allows me to reflect, recharge and refocus. With that in mind, you can now imagine how excited I was to take a week-long family vacation to the beaches of Florida.

FIRST STOP: FLORIDA KEYS

Our first stop was to Key Largo which is an island of the Florida Keys, located about 1.5 hours south of Miami. During our time in Key Largo we stayed in an incredible ocean front beach house with breathtaking views of the Atlantic during the day and the Sagittarius star constellation in the evening. Every night my husband and I would sit out on the balcony and stargaze while talking about the universe. It's safe to say I wanted to stay at that beach house for much longer!

We celebrated the Fourth of July by going on a boat ride to a nearby sandbar where we spent the afternoon with friends and family. Later that night we saw fireworks on the pier then stargazed for the rest of that evening.

The following day we drove out to Islamorada where we saw a mama and baby manatee in the marina of Wahoo's Bar and Grill. Both appeared to be feeding off the algae. Fun fact: manatees are herbivores and very gentle sea creatures. They also go to the surface of the water every three to five minutes to breathe.

After watching the manatees we walked over to Whale Harbor, a seafood buffet with a really nice roof-top floor. We didn't try the food but the bar, seating, ocean views and breeze was good enough for me.

Many family photos later we got in the car and drove to a gift shop where I purchased a magnet souvenir. I like to collect magnets from our travels. What do you like to collect?

On the way home we stopped at Snappers for dinner. I ordered a Piña Colada and a shrimp cocktail - both were delicious (their rolls are so yummy too!). This place has a super cool waterfront outdoor patio with live music, bar, lots of seating and room for dancing. Overall really good vibes.

For our final day in Key Largo we had a day-in at the beach house to rest up for Miami the next morning. We spent most of this day hanging out on the balcony, listening to music and taking Instagram pics. Fun for me. Not so fun for the hubs! Can my fellow bloggers relate?

The hubs did go on a snorkeling trip early that morning so he had his fair share of fun.

Totally unrelated to my trip but I'd like to announce that I'm now on 21 Buttons! If you don't know what 21 Buttons is, it's a free site and app that you can download to shop outfits from your favorite style bloggers and influencers. Click here to check out my profile + shop my looks.

LAST STOP: MIAMI BEACH

Our last stop was in tropical Miami Beach. Something about this city really drew me in. Perhaps it's the fact that it's by far one of the most culturally-rich and diverse cities I'd ever been too. Or maybe it's because I really enjoyed the food, music, beach and overall atmosphere. Either way I'd definitely like to go back because our stay here was actually quite short.

Day one in Miami consisted of meeting more of my husbands family, eating lots of homemade Cuban food, checking-in to our hotel and going to the beach.

We stayed at The Edition hotel and let me tell you, this hotel is seriously so beautiful and there are so many plants on the property - it feels like you're on a tropical island. Not only is this hotel gorgeous and luxurious it also has lots of amenities like an ice skating rink, night club, bowling alley and so much more. There are also various restaurants inside the hotel to choose from. I highly recommend you try the brownies from Market at the Edition. It was genuinely the best brownie I'd ever had.

How cool is the ice skating rink? Really wish I'd taken a photo in front of the neon sign. It would have made a great Instagram photo. Oh well, maybe next time!

The following day we went out for breakfast to a nearby cafe called Tropical Beach Cafe. We enjoyed the food so much we came back for dinner. I really liked that everything on the menu was really affordable and all the food we ordered was delicious; I highly recommend their Cuban sandwich.

All in all this trip was such a fun experience and very much needed. I would definitely love to revisit both places in the future. Here's hoping for more travel, more experiences and more adventure!

Thank you SHEIN for gifting me all of these beautiful summer pieces. If you are ever in need of affordable and trendy fashion you've got to check out their website, www.shein.com, to shop and don't forget to use my code YOURGIRLJESS to save at checkout.

I also want to thank you for reading todays blog post. Until next time friends, take care and happy shopping!!

I shared this look over on my Instagram last week and I thought to myself, why not share it on the blog too! Today I'm giving you all the details of my go-to makeup look for spring + summer.

During the spring and summer months I like to stick to a more light and natural look by using less products. Not only is applying less products quicker but it's also necessary - especially living in southern Texas where the weather gets very hot and humid.

Sure, the idea of putting on a full face of makeup sounds like fun but it won't be so fun when it's melting-off about an hour later. This Texas heat is no joke! Because of this I like to apply products that I know will stay put and last throughout the day.

Below is the full list of products I used to get this look along with links for you to directly shop the cosmetics mentioned.

I'm constantly looking for ways to save when shopping for clothes and accessories. Whether that be by shopping second-hand at my favorite thrift store or by finding online shops, via Instagram, that offer trendy styles at budget-friendly pricing.

One shop in particular that caught my attention, thanks to so many of my blogger friends, is the brand SheIn. Now you may or may not have heard of them, they are an online retailer that carry hundreds of super cute pieces at insanely affordable prices - which I LOVE!

I reached out to the brand to ask if they could send over some pieces for me to wear to share with you all, and they kindly accepted. SheIn was so generous, they even gave me my very own discount code for you all to shop and save on your order! Code below: 15% OFF DISCOUNT CODE: Q3YGJESS

Both of these sets are under $20 each, which is incredible! They're both so cute and perfect for summer! I'm wearing a size L in both sets, however I will say the striped set is a tad big on me.

Thank you so much to SheIn for gifting me these really cute pieces. I am definitely going to be wearing them a lot throughout this hot Texas weather. I also plan on shopping for more clothes to expand my summer wardrobe.

Again, my discount code is Q3YGJESS to save 15% off your entire order on SheIn.com

Thank you, my lovely readers, for taking the time to read my blog post. Until next time friends, take care and happy shopping!

What's your favorite fashion accessory? Sunglasses are amongst my favorite, they never go out of style, they protect the eyes from UV rays and they come in endless designs to compliment any outfit.

When I received this Foster Grant PR box in the mail I was over the moon with excitement to see they'd sent such a generous package. 😍 Also, how cute is the box?! I love that it actually stores the sunglasses so I plan on keeping it for as long as possible.

I thought it'd be a fun idea to do a try-on blog post where I show you how I styled each pair of sunglasses. Let me know in the comments, which pair is your favorite? 😎

Wearing the style Bry in matte black. These are so rad and probably my favorite pair out of the bunch, they're like a cool twist on the classic aviator silhouette. I'm honestly obsessed with the hexagonal metal frames!

Wearing the style BG.6 in black and gold. I'm really into the smoke gradient lenses of these frames and the cat eye feel of them is also really chic.

Wearing the style Anise in black. This style is really on-trend right now, we see small frames like this all over social media and I'm here for it! These in particular give me major 90s vibes.

Wearing the style Jet Set 8 in rose gold. I really like the gold and rose gold combo as well as the mirrored lenses. These sunnies are super stylish and they elevate any look.

Now that you've seen them all in action, which ones are your style? Let me know below.

All of these frames are super sturdy, good quality and reasonably priced at under $40.

Thank you Foster Grant for gifting me this beautiful box of stylish eyewear. You will definitely see these sunnies in rotation over on my Instagram from here on out!
